Online Help opens when I open layer styles and won't stop!

Help! Sometimes when I open a layer style dialogue box, suddenly my browser takes over and opens one or two or even three windows/tabs with Photoshop.com. If I try to go back to Photoshop, or right click and minimize it, three more tabs open with Photoshop.com. Why is this happening???!?!
(Last night after a long time trying to resolve it, even by going to task manager and minimizing, I found that by holding in ALT and clicking on Photoshop, I was able to go back into it without launching a barrage of internet tabs, as ALT seemed to change the layer style dialoge options some. However, now that I know how to resolve it temporarily, I still don't know WHY this is happening. Any clues?)

It may be corrupt preferences.
Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • Can anyone help me find my lost layer styles and photo effects in the Effects Panel?

    I am using the trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded and tried to install a glitter style. When I went back to my workspace I had no layer styles or photo effects in the Effects panel....not one. The filters are the only ones there now. What have I done?

    Quit the editor, then go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\9.0\Locale\en_US (or your location) and delete mediaDatabase.db3. When you restart the editor, give it time to rebuild the panel contents before you try to use PSE.

  • PLEASE help...my Nano keeps shuffling and won't stop

    Can anyone help me? I click on "music"-"artists"-"the artists name"-"the album"-"the song" and instead of playing the song, it just shuffles though every song on that album without stopping then goes back to the main menu. I have checked all the settings and shuffle is turned off....why is it doing this and any ideas on how to fix it? I have reset the Nano and it doesn't help.
    Thanks is advance!
    Patty

    I have the same problem. I've had my iPod video for no more than two weeks and just yesterday it started doing this. It doesn't do it on every album but certain ones. I haven't tried all of them as I have about 100 albums on my iPod right now.
    If anyone has any idea why it's doing this or an idea for a salution, please help!
    Thanks,

  • I need help. When I open my "page" all my documents were gone. I need those things.

    I need help. When I open my "page" all my documents were gone. I need those things.

    I meant flickering means...when i open combobox and click focus is going out of air window as though combobox is in some another window. once click press mouse down...focus is in combo box but window loses focus and once releases mouse ..window back to focus.  Kinda annoying effect when u try to click on combo box and select.
    Tested with html scout sample app and load any webpage with combobox , window loses focus.
    But any combobox made using EXT it do not flicker because ext handles focus event correctly.
    My windows has set of combo box and user always select different value from combo box if keep losing focus and coming back its annoying as hell.

    Plz I need a help..when I open my whatsapp it's suddenly stop how I can fix this ..this morning it was gd but now suddenly stop .

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Why do all my word documents open when I open word

    why do all my word documents open when I open word

    You may have to compare user permissions and privileges in documents to see if there is a presence of odd permissions in the Get Info box available by single-clicking a document's ICON and see this area in each.
    How was the application installed? Are you running an Admin account? Have you repaired disk permissions in Disk Utility, or any other routine steps to see what happens next?
    There may even be a Console log of events that happen when you open and launch a document stream involving this Word phenomena, in Console utility, on or about the time these events occur. The logs can be amazingly complex, and vary in helpfulness. I use some of them to see what happens and when, or if there is a crash, some can point to hardware vs software sources of problems. Some resident experts in ASC are fairly good at knowing what they mean or how to decipher the system logs from there.
    Not sure of the exact cause...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Everytime I open a new tab it comes up with Yahoo, how do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

    How do I make it so a blank page opens when I open a new tab?

    I had the same problem, in fact, I'm one of the people who clicked, "I have this problem, too!"
    I used to have blank tabs when I would open them, but I downloaded some shady software that I didn't know had add-ons! I tried the "about:config" method and messed around with some of those things but nothing happened. After deleting and reinstalling firefox it still happened, and after doing a computer wide search of 'Ya' or 'yahoo' it came up empty. That told me it's combined with some other program or it's under a different name completely. When I would open a new tab, the url would come up something like:
    www.click.1.3.yahoo.com/tab_search_000,00.03 blah blah blah. toward the end of the string though, the word "Freeze" appeared. So I went back to my control panel and looked for the word freeze in anything, even as the host site. I FOUND IT! It was some net assistant bug that downloaded off of some other software I had running. Hope this helps some of you!
    -Kayl
    PS. even if your word isnt freeze, it may be something else worth searching in your control panel :)

  • How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?

    How can I set the page that will open, when I open a new tab, to be the same as the homepage?
    An app changed it to some other search engine, before installing the app, I the tab that would open was the homepage I set.
    In my case it is Google, and I want my new tabs to open on Google like they did before the installation.
    thank you,
    Asaf Privman.

    You can middle-click or Ctrl left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at one of these extensions:
